This articles discusses the main features of the ,Francisco Campos Reform launch in 1927 by tackling the question of whether the principles embodied in  New School Movement were incorporated or not. The New School Movement was seen as part of an effort to restructure Education in both the state of Minas Gerais and in Brazil. The Francisco Campos Reform was implemented to increase the number primary schools In Minas Gerais, and also to improve social control which was seen as fundamental to the formation of a controlled citizenry within the scope of ideas of state´s republican elite. Therefore, we make an attempt improve the understanding the meaning of this reform to the organization of schools in Minas Gerais given that the ‘mission’ of these institutions was to create/recreate new individuals for the urban social context, especially within the realm of primary schools which were seen as carriers of new contents, teaching methods and pedagogical practices.
